Flemings "Invest" $5,000 in Annie Gabriel Library Faculty Strength Increased
Dr. and Mrs. William Fleming, Christian Philanthropists and prominent
Baptists of Fort Worth, Texas, have made another investment in California
Baptist College. A check for $5,000, designated for the purchase of books for
the Annie Gabriel Library, has been received by President Simmons.
This gift, or "investment" as
the Flemings prefer to regard it, will
enable CBC library personnel to
bring the number of volumes accessioned to more than 28,000 by mid-
September, well beyond requirements
of the Western College Association
accreditation committee.
Dr. and Mrs. Fleming have on
occasion stated that their charitable
interests are in the field of Christian
education. Their investment in CBC
at this time, their second since
accreditation probabilities have been
emphasized ($10,000 was given in
I960), accentuates their belief that
the college is destined to be one of
the great educational institutions of
the Southern Baptist Convention.
Among the hundreds of others
who have the Fleming's feeling of
concern and great expectation, are
Mrs. Edith Boyington, of LongBeach,
the J. D. Gospins of Arcadia, and
Owen Cooper, of Yazoo City, Mississippi.
Mrs. Boyington has memorialized
$500 worth of books in honor of her
deceased husband, Emmett Eugene
Boyington. Mr. and Mrs. Gospin have
sent a check for $250 for library
expansion. Mr. Cooper also has
contributed to the library, in the
amount of $100, has made available
$2,000 worth of loan funds for students, and has paid out one 500-500
Plan and requested another note.
Scores of donors of books and
cash gifts large and small are being
led of the Lord to share the responsibilities and joys of great stewards.

The College Summer Chorus,

the response to inquiries concerning
needed additions to the faculty of
California Baptist College. President
Loyed R. Simmons has evinced much
pleasure and thanksgiving in releasing names of eminent and qual-
fied educators who will assume
teaching duties with the opening of
the fall semester.
